Proposed Georgia miscarriage death penalty bill
I heard today that a Republican congressman from Georgia introduced a bill to propose the death penalty or life in prison for women who have a miscarriage unless she can prove that it was not her fault! The bill would also ban abortion with no exceptions. Seriously is this for real, just when you think right-wing politicians in America can't get any more ridiculous, you hear stuff like this. I lean Conservative, but I sure don't agree with nonsense like this. I thought abortion and birth control were settled decades ago so why won't these issues go away? These idiot politicians should be focusing on important issues like the economy, deficits, national security and the environment.

Have you a link to the law?
It's next to impossible to say what causes a miscarriage, how on earth can anyone prove that you did or did not cause it?

The over the top bill in question didn't go anywhere, was from last year, and the man is dead.

There are 1000's of silly laws that are entered every year, most are just done to make a statement and never really planned on passing. Often done in response to some other silly law entered by someone from the other political party.
GA does have laws that punish someone if they cause a women to miscarriage.

I forget what it was exactly but there was a big and somewhat serious fight in GA about having a license plate with the term "In God we trust" or something like that. It was just to be a optional plate, not a required plate. I bet they spent millions of dollars fighting this both sides.
The amount of silly laws they try to pass get worst and worst.
But the issue in GA they don't really need that bill, since he fetus is considered a life except for legal abortion. If anyone would cause harm to the mother, hit her, car wreck, shoot and so on, then they can charge the person with man slaughter.
A women on the road driving to an abortion clinic, can have a car wreck and the baby dies, the driver causing the wreck can be charged.

My own position is that for every law passed ,another one should be repealed . Also every law should have an expiration date. Legislators would spend so much time renewing old laws they wouldn't have time to pass new ones.

Abortion was never "settled" its been changing ever since it started. Roe v Wade has nothing to do with the modern world.
